Teenage hopefuls light up the stage at Gardyne Youth Music Initiative concert

The future of Dundee’s music scene was superbly showcased at Gardyne Theatre on Saturday night at a concert by nine of the city’s most promising young acts.

The fruits of four months of hard labour in the studio for the teenage musicians were there for all to see as the bands, solo artists and female acoustic duo played their own, original material, much of it written during the mentoring course they have attended at Gardyne Studios since June.

The musicians have all been mentored by four of the city’s finest musicians, Christopher Marra, Dave Webster, Stevie Anderson and Paul (Lefty) Wright.

The nine acts that performed were Elephant, Courtney’s Chain, Syann Gilroy, The Alley, Drenched, Blood Indians, Marley Davidson, Stobie Boy and Room 7.
